Finding the Kidlitosphere Conference

by

conferenceIf you’re big on blogging about children’s literature, you’ll want to attend the Kidlitosphere Conference in Washington this October 17th.

But you know what? Even if you’re not a blogger, this conference might be perfect for you. Because it may give you that push you need to start a blog. It will definitely address any questions you might have, and inspire you along the way.

Look at some of these conference offerings: Building a Better Blog, Social Networking for Fun (and Profit?), and Coming Together, Giving Back.

It’s just one day, and it’s just $100. It’s in Washington, which might be very convenient if you live around Washington. Um, maybe not so convenient if you don’t.

Still, if you’re planning on taking a little trip, a one-day conference may fit in nicely. And hey, you can blog all about it!

Tuesday Tip: Just So You Know, I’m Taking Notes

by

You may recall me mentioning here on the Hall of Fame that I attended an Elton John/ Billy Joel concert.

Here’s where I wrote about that little adventure again, in an oh-so-humorous way. I mention this so you’ll know that, from time to time, I write about the adventures from my oh-so-personal life. That’s what writers do. All the time.

So, if you were to, say, get lost three different times going to the same place (like a Junior Hall did recently), you might show up in a witty column. Or you might show up in a short story as the character affectionately called “Wrong Way.”

Just thought I’d tip you off, in case you read something someday and think, “Wait a minute. That could be me, except that I don’t have a big, old wart on my nose.“

It’s probably not you. But it could be you. Especially if you do have a big, old wart on your nose.
